It Doesn't Make Sense and Its Costing Us Millions
A Strategic Domestic Abuse Initiative for Human Resource Professionals
“Lost workdays and lost productivity are known as the biggest siphons of corporate profitability we have. These siphons usually are created by things that are happening outside the workplace. Small changes have the biggest results, and employers are in the unique position to make those changes; simultaneously they must ensure state and federal compliance.” Stephanie Angelo
This program has been approved for 1.5 (Specified -Strategic) recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute.
Family abuse/violence is a subject that is not easily addressed because there are many people who deny its existence or the magnitude. Many people have trouble facing the possibility of having to deal with the serious effects it has on their employees personally and professionally; and that the organization, in turn, pays the price.
This program illustrates the costs to the business bottom line. Participants leave with a view of cost affected areas, a violence prevention plan, look at case histories and learn how to proactively achieve non-abuse through strategies to create a legally compliant, healthier, safer workforce.
Attendees will:
- learn how the organization is affected
- discuss violence prevention policies
- review mandated laws
- strengthen legal defense
- learn how to increase loss prevention
- identify the real ROI of responding to domestic violence
- explore HR best practices for addressing intimate partner violence

Serrated:
A True Story of Survival, Recovery and the Pursuit of Justice
by Stephanie Angelo and Tracy Stombres
Her father died of an overdose when she was two. Unable to cope with the loss, her mother turned to drugs and alcohol, leaving Tracy in the care of grandparents. Nothing in Tracy’s life was easy or normal. Homeless as a teenager, she became a stripper to support herself. When Frank sweeps her off her feet she can finally have the life she’d been aching for. She didn’t know about his controlling and abusive personality.
What happens to Tracy then is so horrifying that your urge to set down the book, and catch your breath, will be overcome by your need to read what happens next.
Tracy cuts to the chase in this true crime memoir. She’s honest and straight-forward as only a woman who has survived this kind of trauma can be.

“Serrated is a powerful story, and one that we must hear, because it shows what happened to an intelligent, articulate, courageous battered woman who did everything right, while the system designed to protect her did everything wrong. Serrated guides us toward solutions, helping us to see that we must stop blaming victims and start repairing our communities. An unforgettable story.”
- Lundy Bancroft

“This book, the true-life story of Tracy Stombres, will horrify you, enlighten you, and inspire you.”

Physician expert on domestic violence and emergency room treatment, author of The Physician's Guide to Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse, A reference for all health care professionals and other books on the subject
“Justice is the driving need for crime victims regardless of whether it is in the criminal or civil justice systems. Both are about obtaining a sense of hope, justice, and healing. In Serrated, Tracy poignantly chronicles the heart wrenching emotions oscillating within an abuse victim and demystifies the public perceptions and stereotypes that often plague domestic violence victims, too often preventing them from obtaining a full measure of justice. Tracy's story is an example of how far we have come, and how far we still have to go.”
